Our Antiques Expo :D

This term we are learning all about history and how things have changed. So we held an antique expo where we all brought in something very old that we don't find much anymore and presented it to some classes. Alot of us dressed up on the day, even the teachers joined in. I think we all looked fantastic!

Perry and Keeley look fantastic in their olden day clothes. ... Is holding what looks to be an old style doll.

Keeley not only looks fantastic in her old fashioned dress but is actually holding an old certificate saying you have completed your senior swimming and that you can do diving, be an instructor, do rescue work and do resuscitation.

Georgia has brought an old record you know the things before CD's and ipods. Its titled The Music of George Geshwin.

Our Mc Crae Homestead escursion :)

On the 29th July the grade 1 and 2's went to the Mc Crae Homestead to learn about their history and what their grandparents used to live like, and to see how things have changed. When they had finished the tour of the homestead they went and visited Mc Crae lighthouse and did many fun activities at the park.

This is Patrick he is learning how to wash clothes with a washboard just like they used to back in the day. When asked what he thought about it he said it was easy. :)

The grade 1 and 2's at the playground near the lighthouse in Mc Crae about to get ready for the many activities planned.

This is Amari's fabulous drawing of the Mc Crae lighthouse in the background. All the grade 1 and 2's drew a picture of the lighthouse and should all be very proud of ther fabulous work.
